More detail

The Medical Imaging Convention the UK’s dedicated event that offers a comprehensive program on the latest innovations in imaging diagnosis and treatment, to UK-based medical imaging professionals and their senior management teams. The event provides the most up-to-date research, data and developments that can enable better patient outcomes, efficiency and cost-effectiveness in UK medical imaging.

Medical Imaging Convention runs alongside:

When Is The Show?

6th to 7th June 2018, ExCeL London

Doors: 10AM - 5PM

NEW DEEP LEARNING LUNG CT TOOL

The new tool uses automated cancer classifiers seen in the conventional CT scans of the chest and applies them to LungDirect’s advanced learning algorithms.

LungDirect’s algorithms are built and validated from over 1,000 patients that were tested at the Tianjin Cancer Institute. The test combines the values of biomarkers and individual patient characteristics – e.g. age, smoking status and nodule size. The anticipation is that this will increase the number of cancers detected by more than 50 percent in comparison to current methods. Artificial neural networks have also been incorporated into the algorithm to continuously improve the system as more data in acquired.

LungDirect’s system creates a cancer classifier to direct the algorithm towards a more detailed outcome. Deep learning tools such as these have already achieved impressive diagnostic results, but LungDirect will be the first screening and incidentaloma system to fully include this technology. The company are still working on improving the system by collaborating with the top academic cancer centres to combine imaging techniques, machine learning and deep electronic health record integrations to develop big data channels that can train the LungDirect platform to achieve superior performance.
